psychedelic protopunk band > the Seeds        USA

 

Sky Saxon (Richard Elvern Marsh)    1946-2009

 

 

The raucous sound

of Sky Saxon's band

the Seeds

made them

a local phenomenon

in Los Angeles

in the mid-1960s,

but few

could have predicted

that Saxon would go on

to become

his own one-man cult.

 

After disappearing

into a religious commune

during the 70s,

Saxon (...)

bounced back

to reassert

his credentials

as one

of the founding fathers

of garage rock.

The Newton Neurotics

 

In the 1980s

the Neurotics recorded

John Peel sessions

for BBC Radio 1,

released

a critically lauded

debut album,

Beggars Can Be Choosers,

and saw their third single,

Kick Out the Tories,

become an anthem

as they played

an exhausting schedule

of benefit gigs

throughout the 1984-85

miners’ strike.

Belfast punks Stiff Little Fingers.

For Belfast teenagers,

punk meant far more than just mohicans and safety pins

The music and clothes united Belfast’s youth in the 1970s.

Here an Observer writer recalls its power to cross the divide

– and prepares to pogo with fans old and young
